Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
- 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ginger paste, garlic paste, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and coarsely crushed black peppercorns to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for best results.
Heat the butter in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan.
Cook the chicken for about 10-12 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. The chicken should have a nice golden crust.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with a side of raita or a simple cucumber salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
